Catapult

Flat ride

About Catapult

The relocated SWAT from the defunct Astroworld in Texas. It is composed if what looks like a flyswatter with two "swatting ends" The passengers board on either end, and after rising 65 feet, the whole thing does several 360 degree flips in both directions and lowers again.

This ride was listed for sale, but the park had a change of heart and Catapult will be with us for at least one more year. -- Last edited by Dan Forget
